The image below on the left is from 1952, and shows the elevated streetcar lines at the back of the Pacific Electric Building. The advertising for Downtown Ford was probably designed to be read by the streetcar passengers. By 1964 (below, right), the elevated tracks have gone, although the buses are still parked in the same area. The T-shaped building was gone by 1972.

Thanks for the aerials
Hoss!
Here are a few more pics I recently found on eBay that show the elevated streetcar lines behind the Pacific Electric Terminal (and the terminal building itself).
We've seen the elevated lines before on NLA, but I believe these images are new (to NLA)

and finally, a couple views of the inside of one of the buses.
